Ball-Spinner

Pre-Requesites

1. Download Raspbarrian 32 OS on Raspberry Pi4 The Metawear API is made for 32-bit archetectures, running on 64-bit causes the metawear library to crash

    Make sure to turn on I2c, if not, there are further steps discussing how to 
   

2. Install libraries for MMS a)Install Dev Tools - dependencies required for Metawear API to use BLE sudo apt-get install libboost-all-dev sudo apt-get install libbluetooth-dev

    b) Metawear API
        To bypass switching the downloader from apt-get to pip, call:
        ```
        sudo pip install metawear --break-system-packages 
        ```
        There will be a warning to NOT use --break-system-packages, but previous developers has never had issues using this method
   

3. Confirm Download of other essenstial libraries The following libraries should be installed with the OS, but confirm that they are installed by calling:

    sudo apt-get install -y gcc-6 g++-6 clang-3.8    
    sudo apt-get install build-essential cmake
    sudo apt install python3-matplotlib
   

4. Configure settings for ADC a) confirm

   b) Install the following libraries to use the ADS_1115 ADC: sudo pip install adafruit-ads1x15 --break-system-packages sudo pip install adafruit-circuitpython-ads1x15

5. Download Ball-Spinner Controller Application from repository git clone https://github.com/mbientlab/MetaWear-SDK-Python.git

    Open MetaWear-SDK
   
    python3 setup.py build
   
    d) Download 
   
     sudo /*LocationToVenV*/bin/pip3 install six
   
    run code
        '''
        sudo python -m package.tests.ProtocolTests
